- QP/C++ and QP-nano FRAMEWORK EXCEPTION FOR ARDUINO
- Version 3.0, December 22, 2021
- Copyright (c) 2005-2021 Quantum Leaps, LLC. <https://www.state-machine.com/>
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
- license document, but changing it is not allowed.
- This QP/C++ and QP-nano Framework Exception for Arduino ("Exception")
- is an additional permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public
- License, version 3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to the QP/C++ and QP-nano
- source code (the "QP Frameworks") that is distributed as part of the
- QP-Arduino Support Package.
- When you use QP Frameworks inside your program, the QP Frameworks' code
- is combined with your code of the program. The purpose of this Exception
- is to allow non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way,
- the QP Frameworks' code covered by this Exception.
- 0. Definitions.
- "QP Frameworks" are lightweight real-time embedded frameworks (RTEFs)
- as well as all supporting ports and examples, as distributed from:
- <https://www.state-machine.com> and
- <https://github.com/QuantumLeaps>
- "Arduino-Certified Board" means any board with an Arduino-supported
- CPU that bears an official Arduino logo and/or is officially certified
- under the Arduino Certified Program
- (see <https://www.arduino.cc/en/hardware>).
- "Target Code" refers to output from any compiler and linker in
- executable form suitable for execution by an embedded microcontroller.
- 1. Grant of Additional Permission
- As a special Exception, the copyright holder of QP Frameworks gives you
- permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by combining
- the QP Frameworks with your own source code without the requirement
- to expose your proprietary source code, provided that all Target Code
- will execute on Arduino-Certified Board(s).
- 2. No Weakening of GPL
- The availability of this Exception does not imply any general
- presumption that third-party software linking to the QP Framework is
- unaffected by the copyleft requirements of the GPLv3 license.
